Compliance calendar - GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B deadlines

The moment your GSTIN is active, filing deadlines (11th and 20th) added to your Ollvy calendar.

Address proof mismatch

• Business address on your electricity bill must match the application exactly - even flat number format matters.
• Mismatch triggers an officer query that adds 3-5 days.
• Ollvy CA cross-checks every address document before filing.

Aadhaar OTP fails

• GST registration requires Aadhaar OTP on your linked mobile number.
• If the number is old or inactive, OTP fails and you cannot proceed - must be fixed at an Aadhaar centre first.
• Ollvy verifies your Aadhaar-linked mobile before filing.

Operating without registration

• If turnover crossed Rs. 40 lakh (goods) or Rs. 20 lakh (services) without registration, you owe 100% of unpaid GST plus Rs. 10,000 minimum penalty.
• Penalty starts from the date you should have registered, not when you get caught.

Composition Scheme opt-in window missed

• Composition Scheme election must be filed within the first 30 days of registration using CMP-02 (Section 10(1)).
• Miss this and you are locked into regular GST for the full financial year, paying 18% instead of 1% on turnover.
• Switching later is allowed only at the start of the next FY.

Wrong HSN or SAC code at application

• Every supply needs the correct 6-digit HSN (goods) or SAC (services) code.
• A wrong code triggers officer queries, delays GSTIN by 7-10 days, and later causes ITR mismatches when turnover is classified under the wrong category.
• Ollvy CA verifies HSN and SAC against CBIC notified list before filing.

Photograph and signature mismatch across Aadhaar, PAN, and bank

• Officers reject applications when the authorized signatory photo on Aadhaar, PAN, and bank statement do not match.
• This is the #2 cause of GST rejection after address proof.
• Ollvy checks all three documents side-by-side before submission and updates any mismatch at source first.

When is GST registration required?

Mandatory above Rs. 40 lakh turnover for goods, Rs. 20 lakh for services (Rs. 10 lakh in NE/special category states). Required for any interstate sale regardless of turnover, and for all e-commerce sellers.

Can I register voluntarily?

Yes. Lets you issue GST invoices and claim ITC on purchases. Useful if clients are businesses who need to claim credits on your invoices.

What is the ARN?

Application Reference Number - generated the moment Ollvy CA submits REG-01. Shared immediately. Track progress at gst.gov.in.

What if the officer raises a query?

Ollvy CA responds within 24 hours. Included in the price. Happens in about 1 in 5 cases. Most resolve in one reply.

What documents do I need?

Depends on business type. Ollvy sends a personalised checklist based on your answers - not the full 20-item government list.

What returns after getting GSTIN?

GSTR-1 (sales) by the 11th, GSTR-3B (tax) by the 20th. Every month, even with zero transactions - missing a nil return costs Rs. 50/day. GSTR-9 (annual) by Dec 31.

Can I register for GST in a state where I have no permanent office?

Yes. Ollvy registers Casual Taxable Person (CTP) GST if you will sell at an exhibition, trade fair, or make occasional supplies from a non-home state. CTP is valid for 90 days (extendable by 90 more) and requires an advance tax deposit estimated on projected turnover. For ongoing operations in a new state, Ollvy files an additional place of business under your existing GSTIN.

What happens if my GST registration is rejected?

Ollvy reads the rejection reason from the GST portal (usually address proof mismatch or photograph quality). Ollvy responds to the officer query within 7 working days with corrected documents. If the officer still rejects, Ollvy files a fresh application with the fix applied. No extra fee from Ollvy for rework within the same engagement.

Is Composition Scheme different from regular GST registration?

Yes. Composition Scheme (Section 10) lets you pay 1% of turnover (traders) or 5% (restaurants) instead of regular GST rates, but you cannot claim ITC and cannot make inter-state supplies. You opt in during registration using CMP-02. Eligible only if turnover is under Rs 1.5 crore. Ollvy files regular + CMP-02 together if Composition is the right fit.

Can I cancel GST registration later if business slows down?

Yes. Ollvy files GSTR-10 (final return) and REG-16 (cancellation) if turnover drops below the Rs 40 lakh (goods) or Rs 20 lakh (services) threshold. Cancellation is granted 30-45 days after the final return. Ollvy offers GST cancellation as a separate Rs 999 service.

Do I need separate GST for each state I sell in?

Yes. GST is state-based. Every state where you have a physical place of business needs its own GSTIN. If you ship from one state to customers in another, you bill IGST from your registered state. If you operate from multiple states, Ollvy files one GSTIN application per state.

How long does the GSTIN remain valid once issued?

Permanent, unless cancelled. Exception: Casual Taxable Person (CTP) GST expires after 90 days. For regular GST, you must file monthly or quarterly returns to keep it active. Six months of continuous non-filing triggers automatic cancellation by the officer.
